Sixteen teams competed in the league — the thirteen teams from the previous season, two teams promoted directly from Liga II, and one team promoted via play-off.

Teams promoted from Liga II

Csíkszereda Miercurea Ciuc became the first team to be promoted after fellow promotion contenders Metaloglobus București earned a draw against Reșița on 25 April 2025. The result means Csíkszereda Miercurea Ciuc will compete in the top flight for the first time in their history.[2]

Argeș Pitești became the second team to be promoted on 6 May 2025 after defeating Reșița in matchweek 8 of the promotion round. This result saw Argeș Pitești return to the top flight after a two-season absence.[3]

Metaloglobus București became the third team to be promoted after defeating Politehnica Iași 2–1 on aggregate in the promotion/relegation play-off round on 1 June 2025. This result means that Metaloglobus București will compete in the top division for the first time in their history.[4]

Teams relegated to Liga II

Gloria Buzău became the first team to be relegated after suffering a narrow defeat to Farul Constanța on 4 May 2025. This result ended Gloria Buzău's time in Liga I for one season.

Sepsi OSK became the second team to be relegated after suffering a defeat to Unirea Slobozia on 18 May 2025. This result ended Sepsi's time in Liga I for eight seasons.[5]
